FEATURED POST

Honey Pistachio Cake with Honey Cream

Thank you very much for the nice comments on my last post. My son’s elbow is doing better. He was supposed to get a plaster cast yesterday, but it is still too swollen, so were aiming for Monday. He is is less pain, but he needs to take it easy, and that is proving to be more difficult than anything.

I seem to be on a simple cake kick. I recently posted a Chocolate Yogurt Cake, and have been making Raspberry Buckle a lot lately. This cake caught my eye in this month’s issue of Better Homes and Gardens. I was flipping through, saw this cake, realized that I had all of the ingredients on hand, and made it right then. Baking is such a calming thing for me. Something about the measuring and mixing center me, and make a crazy day just a little more enjoyable. As I was making this cake, I was tuning out the fighting over Beyblades (I just don’t get them, I wish that it was my idea though, the kids on my street cannot get enough of this toy.) and the dings from my computer telling me that I had a new message or 47, and just concentrating on one thing – making a simple and beautiful cake.

This cake is sweetened with honey, and has a nice crunch from cornmeal and ground pistachios. It is elegant enough to serve after a nice meal, but also a nice breakfast cake. The cake can be made ahead of time, and covered in plastic wrap. Add the honey cream and berries before serving.

I agree – it’s so satisfying to discover you have all the ingredients to make a recipe at hand. It’s so great to be able to just dive right in! This cake looks wonderful – thank you for sharing! Wishing your son a speedy recovery!

What a beautiful post! I hope your son feels better soon! Your pictures look gorgeous, did you use any actions to edit them with? I always love how bright and airy all your pictures are, they’re absolutely beautiful!

I use Michelle Kane Actions. I use Bland to Brilliant on every single one.But it also has to do with good light. I shoot manual 100% of the time.

Ohhh I love simple cakes! And I am on a HUGE honey kick lately after having bought a ridiculous amount of fancy honey recently and haven’t found anything specific I want to make, but I will be trying this soon!
Hope your son’s elbow heals quickly, I had a surgery a few years ago that kept me pretty much confined to one spot for a few weeks, and even at 18 that was hard!

This is a great way to use it up! Thanks for the well wishes, staying still is hard, it sounds great for about 2 hours. Then boredom sets in.
